The USD/JPY pair struggled to build on its intraday rebound from the 107.00 handle and was now seen oscillating in a range just below mid-107.00s, over 1-month tops.
The pair failed to capitalize on the Asian session uptick and was now being capped by bearish trading sentiment around European equity markets, which underpinned the Japanese Yen's safe-haven appeal.
The risk-off mood, further reinforced by the ongoing slide in the US Treasury bond yields, partly offset a strong follow-through US Dollar buying interest and was seen as one of the key factors keeping a lid on any additional up-move.
Heading into today's key event risk - the release of US monthly jobs data, investors' reluctance to place any aggressive bets further collaborated to the pair's range-bound/subdued price action during the early European session.

i recently went to a trading seminar and the guy said: - u can either trade using tech analysis or fundamental analysis. - either way u only need to concentrate on one and NOT both. is that really true when it comes to forex?
Ignored
It's about choosing primary approach and not possibility of mixing. Technical analysis and fundamental approaches are completely different, i.e. fundamental is more about exploring theoretical connection between events and market reaction, while technical analysis is empirical one, it doesn't concern on why it happened but uses historical patterns of a price itself to predict its future movement.
